Heaphy Campsite

Heaphy Campsite This is one of nine Great Walk campsites on the Heaphy Track. It overlooks the Heaphy River mouth, which is an exciting place. The river surges out through a narrow gap into the sea - incoming waves halt the flow and the churning of salt and fresh waters is spectacular. Limestone cliffs and lush tropical forest with nikau palms surround the area.
